Coach has released the latest version of its ‘Love’ perfume range, called Coach Love. It is a fruity and floral scent, in a bright red bottle.
The previous iterations of ‘Love’ were 2014’s Love Eau Blush, a floral perfume with a woody base, which was a lighter version of 2012’s Love, a floral perfume with the slight sweetness of caramel and vanilla base notes.
